EMAG VSC 160 TWIN CNC LATHE

Technical Description

A 2-axis CNC lathe featuring a compact 5-inch chuck size designed for precision turning operations on small to medium-sized workpieces. This machine operates along two linear axes—the X-axis for radial diameter control and the Z-axis for axial length positioning—enabling fundamental cylindrical machining and facing operations. With a maximum turning diameter of 5 inches and a 7-inch swing capacity, this lathe is well-suited for producing symmetrical cylindrical parts and components requiring straightforward turning profiles. The 5-inch chuck capacity accommodates round bar stock up to that diameter, providing versatility for various manufacturing applications across automotive, aerospace, and electronics sectors. Computer Numerical Control (CNC) technology enables automated, precision machining with repeatable accuracy and enhanced efficiency compared to manual operations. The two-axis configuration makes this machine an industry-standard entry-level CNC platform, ideal for shops requiring dependable performance without the complexity of multi-axis systems. The compact footprint and moderate power requirements make it suitable for job shops and small manufacturing facilities with space and budget constraints. This lathe excels at producing turned shafts, bushings, connectors, and similar components where dimensional accuracy and surface finish are critical. The CNC control system allows for complex tool paths and rapid cycle times, improving throughput while maintaining tight tolerances. This machine represents a practical balance between capability and investment, delivering reliable performance for essential turning operations without unnecessary complexity or cost.
